Catalan coach Trent Robinson recalls prop Mickael Simon in the absence of the banned David Ferriol for Sunday's clash with Leeds in Perpignan.
Ferriol begins a three-game ban, while Sebastien Martins is out injured.
Dragons second rower Cyrille Gossard is poised to make only his fourth appearance of the season after recovering from injury. Youngsters Remy Marginet and Thibaut Ancely make up the 19-man squad.
Leeds have recalled hooker Paul McShane after losing Rob Burrow to suspension, while second rower Weller Hauraki returns from a one-match ban.
Winger Ryan Hall has recovered from a dead leg so takes the place of Zak Hardaker, who is out with an ankle injury. There is also a place in coach Brian McDermott's 19-man squad for back rower Jay Pitts.
The in-form Dragons have won five of their last six games and could climb into the top four this weekend.
In contrast Leeds have lost their last two and are clinging on to a top-six berth, although they took plenty of positives from last weekend's narrow reverse at leaders Wigan.
Catalan squad: Greenshields, Blanch, Dureau, Henderson, Casty, Menzies, Raguin, Mounis, Baile, Gossard, Millard, Vaccari, Simon, Fakir, Paea, Baitieri, Pelissier, Marginet, Ancely.
Leeds squad: Webb, Smith, Delaney, Hall, McGuire, Leuluai, Buderus, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Ablett, Sinfield, Lauitiiti, Bailey, Kirke, Hauraki, Clarkson, Pitts, Jones-Bishop, McShane.
